CTP Internet Ratings (08 Dec. 2001)

[blackice]

Ok Ber I got lucky with map position I saw you playing so we will have to set time for you to kick my butt Good game!
Gav where are you? I thought we were playing? hehehehe

[Paulno1]

ahhhhhhhh whats up gav?


you seem very angry, ive heard nothing from you about continueing that game as far as i know. Ive been playing alot in the last 2 weeks and have never seen you. I wasnt around for 2 weeks before that because i had no where to live so it was rather difficult too playand i told you that. All you had too say is i can play at a certain time and i would have been there (-: Im not telepathic even though i may claim to be after a few beers.

I always continue games if i see people. I do sometimes hate to set up games to be played at certain times, because people never turn up. As you didnt the last time we organised a 2 vs 1 game.

If you think you have beaten me in a game save it and it can always be continued rather than gloating on about what may have been. YOu did that before gav and you had lost the save or something.

Im sorry blackice but ill allways find it hard to beleive that im being out produced when im ahead on ranking. I was behind on tec but that is not new to me makes it more interesting. If you have not looked at that map we can allways continue.

But then again no matter what i do i get abused


oh well im a big boy now.

if you get ****ty with me and dont want to play me well fine i dont really care.Theres only one or maybe 2 people as good or better than me and they wont play you, so you are missing out on the ultimate challenge in ctp WHETHER YOU BELEIVE THAT OR NOT.

Oh and berxpert got walloped by another guy in a 4 player with me playin as well today by knights. The guy that beat him had 38 cities in the end and on a reg map and they were both on the same island as me. He was up 12 odd ren tecs on me. I only had 19 cities and had sol's 20 turns at least later. But still thrashed him eventually. With a land based assault. I probably had a little luck in the fact that i wasnt the one who got attacked by knights.
But he probably couldnt have anyway due to mountains in the way.

Game league died for many reasons not least the fact that no one runs the site and hasnt for months and months. Very few of the top players have played for a long time long. When the cheat thread came up almost none of the top 10 were even active anymore.

yeah i like too win but i love the thrill of the chase. If i looked to only win as i keep sayin why do i always try and give my opponent an advantage 2 on 1 or handicapped ? or excepting a shocking island.
ahh well who cares

ahh well your s truely the sometimes amusing but allways arrogent PAULno1

Ice I came to Cali12 Saturday at 10:00 GMT..... The game with Ber was already in progress... I am in a rated game with Darth Viper.... Darth has improved his strategy tremendously - I've already suffered several attacks.... And I aint even found his civ yet!!

[Gavrushka]

Paul, you know the only way to contact you is via Gameleague mailbox, and I sent several messages AS I HAVE ALWAYS DONE... I just enjoy playing, you seem to merely enjoy winning, so your comments were B.S. - everyone can suffer from a bad game, and you did against me... Thank god not everyone suffers from bad sportsmanship...

[Paulno1]

im in cali by the way now

[Gavrushka]

And I am in my office making my next million...

[Paulno1]

whoops i see 2 messgaes in my gl email taht indicate you asking what time to play, kind a hidden in with the other stuff though

i did indicate i couldnt play then though, bing that i was staying at my dads place
and he got real mad when ever i sat on the net for more than 2 mins

[Paulno1]

you are still yet to donate a million to me bastard lol,
i dont ask for much the just cable (-:

ahh welll i better sleep
kinda late

[Gavrushka]

And the fact that several times Paulno1 was playing Filix immediately after, and once against Blackice, or was that a different Paulno1...

Paul Blackice has the save of the game we were in, play it through against him... Essentially I had 100 Sols stacked immediately behind you full of muskets and cannons , and i had captured three cities, had Subs about to go at you, and was ahead on powergraph, and way ahead in tech and prod meant that no matter how good you are you could not win that game, You are a better player than me, but in that game you were beaten, live with it

Yes I must said I was kicked and I stay until the end, the main problem was my position on the island, even that island had river on mountain and river on forest... I was on green land end the guy Ace was on the great part of the land, he didn't allow me to move into that part and isolate me on the green part.

Trying to make some room I attacked him earlier with mounted archers and warriors, later with samurais, but I can't with his numeric superiority.

[faded glory]

Im on (yaya...I took the rest of the day from work. I have to go to Gary tommorrow )

[blackice]

Who me? Where did you get that impression? As for the other two who are they? The great cheat Filix or the the other one Zeral or what ever lol. I do not play with cheats thanks but no thanks. Wink nudge nudge they have played me several times they just did not know it. I am comfortable playing with honest people, with that I really do not think I am missing all that much. Catete is about the only person other than yourself that ask's a player if they would like the tricks used. That is fair play the rest well they can play by themselves...While GL has been dying we here have been expanding says something for honest play if you ask me.

But then again no matter what i do i get abused

Don't we all I get abused for being vocal about dishonest players such is life

Im sorry blackice but ill allways find it hard to beleive that im being out produced when im ahead on ranking.

Must have been a different game I was ahead on both...

ahh well your s truely the sometimes amusing but allways arrogent PAULno1

Just don't change

[Paulno1]

Couldnt changing your name and passing yourself as someone else be a form of cheating ? It could certainly be argued either way. Being that how you play depends a lot on who you are playing. As i often lift my game for better players and im sure a lot of you guys do the same. If i changed my name and played you, you would certainly get a shock when i turned up with dozens of sol's when you were only expecting to be playing a newbie.

Generally more people that play in the servers, play with tricks rather than without. So it can generally be assumed that you are playing someone that is using tricks. But if you have never seen the person before odds on they dont use them.

Filix said that one time he was playing you (blackice) he was kicking your ass on ranking using no tricks and you left sayig that he was cheat basing your accusations purely on the fact he was winning. Filix is a very good player and it truely sucks when the apprentice beats his master

He thrashed me the other day. I had better land eventually but he had better starting land on a gig map. As a result he was ready for war much sooner than me.

Im probably with you on the fact that zeratul is a cheat though. But he quit many months ago so what does it matter.

[Gavrushka]

Paul both me and Blackice often used assumed names to try and find cheats.... Never ever done in a game that was to be rated. I think it is circumstances that dictate that it has to be done, there are a lot of cheats, and I know you are not one of them.

Since you seem to like posting on the CTP Internet Ratings so much, why don't you go rated here, you mentioned before that you like the challenge... well heres a good challenge for you, why not play a few of us, and put some of your ability to good use getting a few other players up to speed so that you can be challenged by other good players. And while you are at it, if you have some free time, why not contribute something to the game by posting on the Multiplaying Strategy guide started by Nimrod in this Forum.

Blackice and me have tried very hard to help CTP grow and get more people interested, you could do a lot for the game, and since you seem to have so much free time on your hands why not put it to good use? - I am still pretty pissed about the game we were in, you have to understand that to you it was just another game, to me (and others that play you) it was a very big deal - Remember months ago when you slaughtered me and Quinns Combined then started congratulating yourself... I said then I would get better and beat you.... and that was the game we played that you abandoned.. I am a pretty mild mannered guy, but when I lose it, I really do lose it....

[Paulno1]

Um i have coached many many players in the past but i gave up on that a while back. I still offer advice when ever im asked too. Most of the good players that were ex GL players have been coached by me at some point, some have even got to my level. I still have not seen you in the lobbies since we last played. Then the only time we can normally play is if I stay up all night like i did last time. All you have to do is suggest a time that you will be in the lobby and odds on ill be there. I was and still am for finishing that game because any time someone thinks they have beaten you is the most interesting time to play. Cant remember if i was that far behind on tec though, being taht i had spies everwhere looking and checking up on what yoou had by the way.

You had that game won at one point but you attacked too late so im not sure how you would go now. Ive won from more adverse situations in the past. (-:
